Sample Application Penetration Test Report

Modern-day application penetration testing typically leverages a manual vulnerability analysis and gray-box methodology to assess the application run-time environment. The testing effort focuses on identifying security vulnerabilities in the areas of the application that present the highest risk, such as the most sensitive components that are exposed to the largest user base.

A focus on the most commonly seen vulnerabilities allows for a thorough review of the areas of the application that are most likely to be targeted for exploitation. The assessor will then execute specific testing procedures to identify security issues within the application.

A proof of concept is then provided for the reproduction of issues identified for all in-scope user roles. Testing focuses on those potential threats identified during the Threat Analysis phase.

In this sample report, our experts share their approach to protecting businesses from these advanced cyber attacks. By the end you’ll have the knowledge you need to read, write, and perform a successful application penetration test. You’ll also have a better understanding of what to expect from your security vendor when delivering their findings.
